Cuba & Panama 2018


In December of 2018, Tom and Iris traveled to Los Angeles to embark on a three week holiday cruise aboard the Viking Star. The cruise itinerary started with a visit to San Diego before heading down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. On their way to the Panama Canal, they stopped to visit Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Christmas Day was full of excitement traveling through the Panama Canal. The next stop was in Panama to visit Panama City, followed by a stop to visit Cartagena, Colombia. One of the highlights of the cruise was visiting Cuba. The first day in Cuba, they explored the "Pearl of the South", Cienfuegos. On the second day, they enjoyed a tour of Havana that included an exciting ride in a classic convertable throughout the city.
